Following the scholarship presentations the TMA was excited to present Levittown resident Sharon Rearick of Sidewalks Are For Everyone with a Community Service Award. Rearick was instrumental in her grass roots effort to bring sidewalks to New Falls Road. Sharon was also recognized by State Representative Tina Davis and Senator Tommy Tomlinson’s office.
The event concluded with our keynote speaker as SEPTA general manager and Bucks County resident Jeff Knueppel talked about some of the upcoming projects that will impact the transit system in Bucks County and beyond.
